Biological and mechanical pond filtration in an complete package. Add pond filtration easily to your pond to ensure clear water and healthy fish. Two models to choose from for ponds up to 10,000 gallons and up to 18,000 gallons with the larger model. Remember that more fish in your pond means that more filtration is needed. It is preferable to have too much filtration than not enough. See below for details on the two models. The BioTech 18000 has the Screenmatic system, the smaller unit does not. Both units are compatible with the Bitron UV Clarifiers.

The BioSmart 10000 is a multi-stage mechanical and biological filtration system in a compact package, designed for medium ponds or for ponds with moderate biological load (some fish).

During biological filtratino, the water is channeled through a series of filter foams that create a special environment by allowing the settling of beneficial bacteria. During this stage, harmful ammonia and nitrites are converted to nitrates, which support plant life in the pond. BioTec 10000 features a built-in cleaning mechanism that does not require removal of the filter foams during maintenance.

The BioTec 18000 is a multi-stage mechanical and biological filtration system in a compact package, designed for larger ponds or for ponds with high biological load (many fish).

In the initial mechanical filtration stage, particles and debris are caught by a 300-micron mesh, which is cleaned automatically at regular intervals. Removal of coarse debris at this stage improves the efficiency of the biological filtration phase and significantly reduces maintenance frequency.

In a final stage, dissolved phosphate is removed with OASE Phosless cartridges. These cartridges bind phosphate which promote algae growth and remove it from circulation. Phosless cartridges are consumables and need to replaced from time to time.

The specially designed SCREENMATIC SIEVE retains all debris particles above 300 microns, the then lightly polluted water flows through special matting where it is enriched with oxygen.
The water then flows through different grades of filter foams where mechanical and biological cleaning takes place.
